Linebacker John Porchivina — “Explosive tackler, physical, good speed, athleticism. Felt like he was way under-recruited.”

Linebacker Aisea Tongilava — “Athletic. The kid can really run. Really high academic fit. A perfect fit for Cal. He’s a kid with a lot of upside.”

Athlete Devante Downs — “He’s a load, can run. He’s a big dude. His initial spot will be at running back. He did it all for his high school team.”

Wide receiver Erik Brown — “The No. 1 wide receiver in California. Long, athletic. Going to get bigger, stronger. Great route runner, great ability to find the football on throw that weren’t that good.”

Running back Vic Enwere — “High academics, one of the first commits, stuck with us the whole time. A joy to recruit, great family. Productive player. Good speed.”

Tre Watson — “A fun guy to watch. Averaged almost nine yards a carry, had a 500-yard game and several 400-yard games. Productive, keeps his pad level low and his shoulders square. High academic kid. Great high school competition.”

Quarterback Chase Forrest — “Was at our Cal camp over the summer. Has a big arm. Good athlete. Ran a 4.7 at Cal camp. Accurate passer.”
